peace through shared prosperity
collaborative living & loving
evolved social, economic & ecological principles & practices
“Community is the ocean in which we swim. We are all products of associations that have shaped the development of our ways of thinking and being.
Evolution is inter-subjective. Through conversations with friends, we share our values and inner worldviews and discover better ways of being. Communities shaped by higher consciousness and conscience are vital keys to a sustainable relationship with the planetary life-web.”
Sharing resources
Although the term ‘communitarianism’ is less than two centuries old, it is the backdrop to practical demonstrations of these same principles and practices that date back long before recorded history. There is ample evidence that communitarianism is the most ancient and even instinctive form of human relating and organisation geared towards sharing the resources that contribute to the support of life, itself.
While communitarianism is often erroneously lumped in to mean the same as communism, in the proper context communitarianism denotes the strains of political, economic and social philosophy and organization that endeavor to strike a balance between individual rights and social responsibilities.
Thus stated, the combination of communitarian principles and practices that determine ‘common good’ must be and remain, inclusive of the people, places and purposes it affects.
The practical application of communitarian principles and practices, focuses on the development of the individual’s moral and authentic creative talent to be harnessed as collective, harmonious, sustainable and ecologically-aligned productivity that contributes to the common good of earth, animals and people.
